The Gdańsk-Gdynia-Sopot Metropolitan Area (MAGGS) is a self-government association established on October 15, 2011, at the initiative of the late Mayor of Gdańsk, Paweł Adamowicz. Today, it brings together 61 cities, municipalities, and counties, covering one-third of the Pomerania region in northern Poland and serving a population of over 1.6 million people.

Our Mission and Impact
The primary goal of MAGGS is to continuously develop the Tri-City metropolis, making it a better place to live, work, study, and raise a family, while simultaneously serving as a magnet for investors. We focus on maximizing the region's potential through active cooperation with local entrepreneurs, scientists, and social organizations.

Since 2015, MAGGS has successfully implemented 179 projects co-financed by the European Union, with a total value exceeding PLN 2 billion (including PLN 1.12 billion in EU funding). These funds have tangibly improved the region by enabling:

• Construction of 24 transfer hubs.
• Renovation of over 200 public buildings and 700 households.
• Revitalization of 13 districts across 8 cities.
• Construction of two new geriatric hospitals.
• Establishment of social enterprises.
• Support for almost 18,000 unemployed individuals and those at risk of poverty or social exclusion.

Additionally, through 23 national program projects, we have modernized public transport by purchasing new buses, trams, and trolleybuses, constructed new tram lines, and modernized heating networks worth PLN 1.3 billion (with PLN 614 million in EU funding).

Building a Better Place to Live
Looking ahead, MAGGS plans to implement a new wave of investments and projects. Utilizing the European Union budget for 2021 - 2027, we aim to deliver initiatives worth nearly PLN 1.3 billion to further enhance the quality of life in our metropolis.

Major Projects and Initiatives
Supra-Local Development Strategy Until 2030
This is the most crucial document defining the vision and development goals of the Pomeranian metropolis for the coming years. It outlines four strategic goals focusing on climate, spatial development, transport, the economy, society, and efficient management and cooperation. The strategy aims to better integrate the municipalities and counties surrounding the Tri-City with the metropolitan core, ensuring residents have excellent access to public services and development opportunities. The adoption of this strategy enables MAGGS-associated local governments to apply for almost PLN 1.3 billion in European funds.
